Here’s a scary pic and story turned reassuring from Wisconsin, USAE: This picture shows wild game hunter Jon holding a live homo sapiens cub that he caught in a Wisconsin forest this summer. This blood-sucking little beast had been on a rampage in the neighbourhood for three months before Jon was able to track it […]

Happy Terrorist Day!
Today all over the world, people are gathering their families and friends, old folks and long-lost relatives, people from the street and miserable neighbours to celebrate the annual Terrorist Day. The kids run naked in the mine yard, the dads are discussing the game over the jihad grill sausages, while the women talk ceaselessly as […]
It's not for the porn… Really!
Today I received three 1 TB single-interface USB 2 disks from Western Digital. The much anticipated, and angstfully dreaded, WDE1U10000E. Let’s hope they aren’t as much trouble as the WD500 series turned out to be. Maybe in response to the failures of the internal power in those models they’ve changed the shape of this one […]

I would like to invite you to participate in the survey. It will only take about 15 minutes and it’s completely anonymous. Just visit the following URL: http://onlineforschung.org/usblogger Even […]
A touching elephant story
This is a story I forwarded to the Bloons back in 2006 — before they collectively commited suicide or something — but I don’t think they ever published it so here goes. It’s a story of love and hate, romance and jealousy, peanuts and butter, and if you haven’t read it before IT’S ALL TRUE. […]

Like everything else from the google labs, it’s still in its beta stage, and the bug reports are long and […]
Failed.
There’s a Norwegian expression similar to «If you want to play you have to pay»: "Den som er med på leken, den må tåle steken" … I just discovered that I’ve lived all my 24 years long life saying the expression wrong; namely streken instead of steken (the heat). And for some reason I just […]
Koew's going to the Big Apple!
And I’m not talking about some Macintosh iDiom here. My brother Koew is going away to New York to study for one semester, much the same way I went to Habana in my days. I’m sure he’s up for a great adventure, and I’m sorry to see him leave before I had a chance to […]
Don't call me, me phone's been stolen!
CHEEKY BASTARDS! is what I yelled at’em. Apart from being separated from my love, my Nokia N95, I’m perfectly fine.
